Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons chipotle spice or seasoning
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup diced fresh vegetables (like bell peppers and onions)
- 1/2 cup chipotle ranch dressing

- 1-2 tablespoons Olive oil for grilling
Instructions
Preparation
- Season the chicken breasts with the chipotle seasoning, salt, and pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Grilling
- Carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts in the pan and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
Assembly
- While the chicken is resting, warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for about 20-30 seconds until pliable.
- Assemble the burrito by placing a portion of cooked rice, black beans, sliced grilled chicken, diced vegetables, and a drizzle of chipotle ranch dressing onto each tortilla.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly to enclose the filling, tucking in the sides as you go. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
Serve these burritos hot and fresh. Consider garnishing with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime to enhance flavors. Accompany with tortilla chips, salsa, or guacamole for a complete meal.
